A Life of Adventure...

Here's a conversation that I had last night...

Me: "What're you two doing tonight?"

Her: "Me and my roommate are going to stay home and watch Nip/tuck and hang out. What are you doing?"

Me: "Oh, I'm playing D & D with the boys."

...

Her: "Really?"

Me: "Yes, really."

Her" "So, are you like a wizard or something?"

Me: "Um, no. I'm more of a fighter. A sword and shield guy. I do very little magic, actually."

Her: "So, what are you guys doing now?"

Me: "Right now, we're having a small disagreement. The boys want to go into Undermountain and kill everything that we find, looting bodies and whatnot. I don't want to do it, though. I want to get down to the business of living well. Maybe open an inn or something. I just don't see the point in going down there."

Her: "Oh baby. You're a fighter. Get out there and do some fighting. You should go and have fun and fight and stuff."

Me: "You think?"

Her: "Yes, I do."

Me: (sigh) "Okaaaaaaaaay. I'll go. But I'm taking you with me."

Her: "That's very sweet."

Me: "While I'm out there on the battlefield, I'll be thinking about you and I'll fight hard to get back home to you."

Her: "Aww."

Me: "My Lady, I will carry thou in my heart. It shall comfort me when all around me is but death and agony!"

From the Other Room: "Hey, Get In Here! These ORCS aren't going to kill themselves, you know!"

Me: "Shoot. I gotta go. I'll text you later."

Her: "Sure, go. Have fun. And baby?"

Me: "Yeah?"

Her: "You're a nerd."

She giggled. I blushed. We hung up and I went and killed orcs with my friends.

Cheers,
Mr.B

Seriously. It's like you're 12 or something.

YOINKS!
I've been found out!
Blast it all to Hades!
Curse me and my blatant honesty on this board!

In simplest terms, yes that's sort of what I did.

Elaborating on that theme, though, our DM has moved to Atlanta, so we only get a single night with him a month to play. And it happened to fall on a show night.

If it's any consolation, I've missed the game before, because I had a Lemon rehearsal.

Give and take. It all balances out, in the end.

Also, that gave you a night with Hendo giving sub notes. So, that's a fun change, yes?

Cheers,
Mr.B

ha ha! Now you're outed to your team as a 12-year-old nerd, and they won't respect you as a coach!

That was SO worth it!

You Speed Lemons should come to the Belmont Burlesque Revue show this Saturday at the PG at midnight and see what a maroon your coach really is!

You are NOT helping the situation, young man. I don't even know why I bother to post your comments at all.

Kids,
Listen to Uncle Mark. Come to the Burlesque Show. We have boobies.
You can thank me, later.
Cheers,
Mr.B

That was the name of my band in high school.

"Uncle Mark and the Bad Touch."

We were a Devo cover band.

Biddle,
you're not a nerd... you're a geek...

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.

or you could take this test and prove it for once and all...

I'm a modern, cool nerd by the way... some how I'm okay with that
